What to know before forming an LLC in Texas.
These facts were checked against official state and IRS sources on April 28, 2026.
Formation steps
Texas requires the name to be distinguishable in Secretary of State records and not misleading about the business purpose or government affiliation.
Use an eligible Texas resident or registered business, or add registered agent service. The registered office must be a Texas street address where service of process can be received.
The Certificate of Formation names the LLC, registered agent, governing authority, purpose, organizer, and initial mailing address.
After formation, Jupid can prepare the EIN application and operating agreement for subscription customers.
Texas franchise tax reports are generally due May 15. For 2026 reports, entities at or below $2.65M annualized total revenue are below the no-tax-due threshold.
Texas taxes and ongoing filings
Texas has no individual state income tax, but LLCs are taxable entities for franchise tax purposes. 2026 and 2027 franchise tax rates are 0.375% for retail/wholesale and 0.75% for other businesses above the threshold.
Registered agent
Every Texas LLC must maintain a registered agent and registered office in Texas. The LLC itself cannot act as its own registered agent. Use your own eligible Texas agent or add registered agent service for an additional fee.
Local permits and licenses
Texas does not have one universal state business license for every LLC. City, county, sales tax, professional, food, construction, childcare, or industry permits may still apply.
Texas LLC questions, answered.
How much does it cost to form a Texas LLC?
The Texas Secretary of State filing fee for Form 205 is $300. Jupid's base filing service is free; you still pay the government state fee directly or as part of the filing workflow.
Does a Texas LLC need a registered agent?
Yes. Texas requires an LLC to maintain a registered agent and registered office in Texas. The LLC itself cannot serve as its own registered agent.
Do Texas LLCs pay franchise tax?
Texas LLCs are taxable entities for franchise tax purposes. For 2026 reports, the no-tax-due threshold is $2.65M in annualized total revenue, so many small LLCs owe no franchise tax but still need to monitor reporting requirements.
Can Jupid get my EIN after the Texas LLC is formed?
Yes. Jupid can handle the EIN step for subscription customers after the LLC is formed, because the IRS recommends forming the state entity before applying for an EIN.
State fees and deadlines are checked against government sources before they go into the page and the knowledge base.
